The Fox,The cook, and the Dog.

One moonlight night a fox was prowing about a farmer’s hencoop,and saw a cook roosting high up beyond his reath.”Good news, good news!!”he cried
“why,what is that??” said the cook.
“king lion has declared a universal truce.
No beast my hurt a bird henceforth.
But all shall dweel together in brotherly friendship.” What that is good news.””said the cook,”and there I see come one coming, with whom we can share the good tidings.”and so saying he craned his neck forward and looked afar of.

“ it is only my master’s dog that is coming towards us. What,going so soon?” he continued,as the fox began to trun away as soon as he had heard the news, “will you not stop and congratulate the dog on the reign of universal peace?”

Generic Structures: Orientation - Complication - Evaluation (optional) - Resolution

Orientation: it is about WHO, WHEN, and WHERE the story happened.

Evaluation: is optional; it is usually used to make the story more interesting.

Complication: it is about the conflict or the big problem of the story. Complication is the part of the story in which there is a conflict among the characters of the story (it is possible to make more than one conflict in a complication), and it is the climax of the story (the big problem in the story). A story can have more than one complication.

Resolution: it is the solution of the problem. It can be a happy or sad ending. In Resolution, the solution or the way out of the conflict/ the big problem must be written.

Coda: it is the change of one of the character or two, or the meaning of the story that can be caught as a moral value of life.
